Income Tax (Trade Unionists' Payments)

HC Deb 25 July 1969 vol 787 c606W

Mr. Clegg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the practice to charge income tax on sums collected by trade unions from employers which are subsequently distributed to members of the union working for those employers.

Mr. Harold Lever

Whether such payments were liable to tax would depend on the facts of the particular case.
